Ky grimaced and nodded. “… I know Gaius seems to care for him a lot. Even though he was so small… maybe he just likes the idea of having a potentially good older brother. I don’t know.”

"I expect that has something to do with it. He never got to meet Oscar, but there's a statue of him in the graveyard."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
Ky nodded. “Gaius has mentioned… I think it upsets him I don’t want to go to the graveyard… it seems to… bring him peace… as much peace as Gaius has ever known anyway.”

"He talks to Oscar sometimes," he said with a nod. "It's comforting, I believe. But the real comfort comes from Sara."

“That makes sense.” She nodded. “Comfort comes from the liv…” she hesitated, furrowing her brow as she realized she was saying this to a ghost. “…if you can’t see and hear the dead, then comfort comes from the living. People who you can interact with on one plane or another. Not statues and headstones.”

"I agree. I suppose that's why Tomhas does what he does."

"Shifts from person to person. Maybe it's a comfort reflex."

She furrowed her brow sourly. “You can’t blame Oscar for Tomhas being a cheater.” So they were back to that. She’d nearly forgotten.

“You can do that without cheating,” she said firmly. “Tadaaki comforts me all the time and I never once made him cheat on Aashi. And I never would.”

He nodded. "That's true. I'm saying perhaps it seemed like the easiest way for him to cope. That doesn't mean it was right."

Ky sniffed and nodded. It definitely wasn’t right. Definitely.

"Hopefully he stops completely this time. For Anneke's sake. He hasn't done anything with Emery recently."

“I should hope not.” She sniffled, wiping at her nose. “I’d divorce him if I was her.” That wasn’t true.
